Excel Math Placement TestsA grade-level evaluation tool

Attached are six tests that can be used to evaluate a student’s preparedness for Excel Math. The tests are labeled A - F, which correspond to first - sixth grade. The test questions cover concepts that are considered review from the prior year.

A note about Excel Math concept strategy:

Typically the first six weeks of a grade will review content presented during the first two-thirds of the prior year. If students have trouble with the evaluation test for a particular grade, it shows they have only a partial grasp of the previous year’s work. It may be difficult for them to work through one lesson per day.

After the first six weeks, the Lesson Sheets will introduce new concepts and concepts from the end of the prior year; therefore, progress will be slower than the first sixweeks.

The evaluation tests are cumulative. Sometimes concepts are not tested because the students have already shown mastery on the test for the prior year.

We suggest you give students one or more tests depending on your knowledge of their ability level. We also recommend you administer basic fact timed tests as a part of the readiness assessment.

There are more factors involved in measuring a student’s grade level readiness than how they score on these tests. However as a general rule, as the student progresses through the tests, the last placement test that the student completed successfully indicates their current grade level readiness. Success would be defined as answering most of the 20 problems correctly.

Test A. Successful completion demonstrates readiness for first grade and covers thefollowing concepts:• writing the numerals 0 - 9• counting up to 20 items• recognizing how the number of items in one set compares to the number of items in another set• filling in missing one-digit numbers in sequences when counting up or down by one• addition facts with sums less than eleven• subtraction facts with minuends less than 6• recognizing circles, squares, triangles and rectangles
